review 1: Continuing on my comedy memoirs phase, picked up Rachel's book which is referenced specifically in a few other books as well as many friendly commentaries on Rachel herself. This book is a refreshing change of pace as while it focuses on her comedy career, she mainly focuses on her self identity and dating failures - especially interesting tinged with her level of fame, not A-list, but very close with many A-listers and she has a very real perspective on it. I admire Rachel for never coming off bitter in a story that frequently discusses her being passed over in various capacities, and then her mature and chill approach to parenting and her relationship toward the end of the book.
review 2: A solid book, though at points one had to wonder where Rachel Dratch wa... mores going. After the quick SNL chapters, she delves into her post-SNL life with some amusing tales about her dating life. At various points I felt she was stretching out the book like an showman is asked to stretch out a scene through fill-in material, but the last few chapters were page turners. So, if you end up reading this humorous book, stick with it despite any feelings of meandering chit chat. less
